Divorce and Kids: Liar, liar

Liar, liar

By skanula414 - 31/12/2014 19:00 - Sweden - Malm?

Today, I found out my 7-year-old daughter really did lie about my husband's "other girlfriend" as revenge for being grounded, and that he never cheated on me at all. We're well into our divorce proceedings and he won't forgive me for not believing him when he denied it. FML

Today, my husband and I sat our 10-year-old daughter down for a chat over her recent cursing. When my husband asked where she'd heard the words, she "innocently" replied, "from mommy's other boyfriend." He took her seriously, accused me of cheating, and hasn't been home since. FML

Today, after three weeks of fighting with my husband, I found out that he really didn't create an account on a website for cheaters and charge the bill to his credit card. Our daughter did it as a prank, and only confessed because our fighting was stressing her out. FML

Today, my daughter-in-law revealed to me that she caught my husband having an affair with her best friend. This was five years ago, and she is only telling me now because he stopped paying her the blackmail money to keep her mouth shut. FML

A bit weird, mom

Today, I found out my mom was serious when she said she’d never get over me dumping my ex. While babysitting my 6 month-old daughter, she took her to meet said ex for lunch while I was at work. Problem? He’s not my daughter’s father and I broke up with him when I was 16. My husband is pissed as well. FML

Today, my mom admitted that her story about my dad leaving us for his current wife was a lie. He left when he caught her with a coworker. She blocked his number and got a restraining order to keep him from telling his side of the story. I haven't talked to my dad for six years because of this. FML

Today, I followed my daughter and found out she wasn’t with friends, she was on a date. I confronted her about the lie, but she takes after her mother, a lawyer, and steamrollered over me about invading her privacy, so even though she lied, she somehow has the moral high ground. FML

Today, a DNA test proved that my 2-month-old daughter isn't mine. The real father is my girlfriend's husband, whom she married last year when she lied to me about going on a vacation. We've been together for three years and I never knew. FML

Today, I found out that a few years ago, when I lost my kids to my ex-wife, it was because my current wife secretly hated having to be their stepmom, so she conspired with my ex to ruin the custody hearing in my ex's favour. FML

Today, it's my daughter’s 18th birthday. Today is also the day that my husband told me he’s leaving me for her, and he wants a divorce. When I threatened to press charges for potentially grooming her as a minor, he told me I don’t have a leg to stand on because, “She’s been at the age of consent anyway.” FML

You guys are rays of sunshine aren't you? The FML never said she didn't investigate, and it also never said she did. So don't assume how she handled the situation. She's real sad over a divorce and you're all calling her an idiot... You should believe your significant other. But you shouldn't believe your own flesh and blood that you raised their entire life? It's unlikely for a 7 year to lie about those kinds of things! Cheating is more common on this planet than children lying about illegal affairs? I'm sorry and I hope your husband will understand. Don't mind the people calling you names... They're not standing in your shoes... And you really need to explain to your child what she's doing to the family.

If she did investigate she didn't find anything, and still went ahead and filed for divorce. I think that makes it even worse.

my question is.. why would you believe your daughter over your husband when she's only 7yrs old?..

You and your child need therapy. You for your serious trust issues, her for whatever issue she has that lead her to believe that this was an acceptable response to being grounded. You both will need it to deal with the repercussions of the choices you both made in this situation.

I'm not sure if you have major trust issues or if your husband has a history of doing untrustworthy things. Either way, why on earth would you believe your daughter over him.
